HORRORS OF LEPROsY.
The Surgeon of the Panama Caifal
Company Gives His Expert

The Surgeon of the Panama Canal
Company Gives His Expert
-ohce' re
Philadelphia Press re
Dr..Joseph Bechtinger, surgeon of the
Panama Canal company, lectured on
"Leprosy' at the College of Physicians
last night. Stereopticon views illhs-
trated the interesting lecture, to which
about 100 prominent physicians listened
with deep interest. q
"LeprOsy," said the doctor, after he
had described the beauties of the South
Sea islands, where the disease is so COM
mon, and made plain how the dreaded
scOurge had never been known there
until the import ation of Chinese cool
les, which fact, he said. was now uni
versally conceded by the medical pro-
feSSion, sis of three kindS-tubercu-
lOus, an&Sthetic and mixed.
"After 1S4S, when the MOngOlianS
went to the Sandwich islands, the dis
ease appeared. Had it been there prior
to that time missionaries and doctors
would have mentioned it. DR.. Hide
brand, who was there as early as 1910,
never saw a case of it. In 1866 l went
to the lazaretto and had the privilege
of seeing and publishing an account of
the terrible sutferings of the poor be-
ings confined behind those walls of
rock. For this | nearly lost my life.
HOW DEATH COMES.
After defining leprOSy to be prehiS-
tOric malady, the true cause of which
is not yet fully known, but which is de-
fined by medical science to be path
illogical product eXuding from the skin,
fol
treated. "They are often treated as
rheumatic patients, some physicians
even using an anti-Syphilitic treatment,
without, of course, any visible result.
Rest is gone, ambition is gone lii the
preliminary stages of lepra tuberculosis
Then small brownish spot is noticed
in those regions which are most exposed
to the air. The skin seems to thicken,
the face gets disfgured, the mucous
membrane, the tongue and the voice go,
until finally the patient dies In agony.
''Africa, L think, is the real home of
this disease. / have never seen negro
affected with anesthetic tuberculosis.
have never seen case among the
Arabs, or in Egypt. Greece knew it
not, for Homer does not mention it. In
Italy and in lower Spain, however,
where there was contact with the Afri-
cans, ieprosy was commonly known.
SIN tropical countries, where skin
diseases are prevalent and where fish and
other like foods are eaten, there was a
supposition that leprosy was more prev
alent for that reason, but do not think
it is.
''Now. is it durable or not? l have
never seen case of tuberculOus leprOSy
that was susceptible of cure, but an8S-
thetic can be cured. In the mixed class
if there is a prepOnderance of the tuber-
culOus form it can not be cured, and vice
versa A"
DR.. Bechtinger quoted cases to show
its contagious or infectious character.
Then he closed with the assertion:
''There is predispositiOn to leprosy. in
human beings where syphilitic diseases
are traceable, which will make stich
person susceptible to the disease should
he live in a country where leprosy is
known" ss5-t'

Convict Brott's shamming Act.

Levi NJ. Brott. a state prison convict
at Jackson. sentenced year ago to
three years for larceny, began seven
months ago to develop symptoms of par
alysis. He would suddenly fall to the
ground while at work and could not eat
for long periods. At length he
had to go to bed. The muscles
of mis- face became rigid, the
eyes fixed, and he ceased to speak
or eat only as food was fed him with
spoon. He was apparently deaf and
could not see. Physicians from all
parts of the state examined him, and all
pronounced his maiady paralysis. The
prison physician, however, believed
Brott was feigning all his symptoms,
but at the same time he deemed it

nearly impossible for him to do so. The
doctor determined to try new remedy
Thursday. He called the attendants
into the hospital and told them in the
presence of Brott that the case was a
peculiar one, and that the convict could
not live beyond a few days anyway, and
that the next day he should proceed to
chOlroform Br0tt, saw the skull
and see what the disease was. The
doctor then left, and very shortly BrOtt
began to move, and calling the hospital
attendant to. him he told that
official that he had been shamming frum
the start in order to get a pardon, and
did this for sympathy. BrOtt was
routed out of bed and was yesterday
put to work in the paint shop. The
doctor says he has heard of one similar
case in this country, but only one. HI

There is great deal of this sort of dicta-

those who have done their best to defeat

are the persons who have made loud and

enacted bill allowing the submission of a

will still maintain their honorable position
